EGD to Eval: A Hiatal hernia is a hernia where the stomach and esophagus meet. The stomach protrudes into the chest cavity through the diaphragm. It can aggravate acid reflux. Do you have heartburn or reflux. An EGD can evaluate the esophagus and stomach to see if you have a hiatal hernia or ulcer disease. Ask your family doctor to evaluate this further.
